Kim HyungSeok Begins New Challenge as Global Artist at University of Oxford

Renowned South Korean composer and producer Kim HyungSeok has been recognized as a global artist by the prestigious University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. With this opportunity, he plans to engage in creative and research activities as a visiting scholar.

According to the research team led by Professor Jieun at the University of Oxford, Kim HyungSeok has been invited as one of six global artists for the newly established ‘Humanities-Kellogg College Visiting Program’ in 2024. This recognition is a testament to his contributions as an innovative artist who has driven the global success of K-pop.

Kim is preparing special lectures and performances centered on artificial intelligence and K-pop, following his groundbreaking performance and lecture at the Sheldonian Theatre during the University of Oxford’s graduation ceremony in July as the first Asian pop culture artist to do so. Notably, he has donated his creative works, comprising over 1,400 songs, to the research team at the University of Oxford for free use, breaking down the barriers between academia and the arts.

Kim HyungSeok’s endeavors are expected to serve as a pivotal opportunity to explore the convergence of K-pop and artificial intelligence. There is keen anticipation for how his creative and research activities will create synergy and elevate the status of Korean music on the global stage.
